But when you don't have anything to argue about your as you have something to occupy your time, you good. But when you don't have anything to occupy your time,
Starting point is 00:07:29 you want her to be attentive to you. Matter of fact, I'm so glad you said that. Speaking of, we got into it again. We got into it again. I worship you now, and I'm not even playing it. She right here. Y'all have first watch out there where you at? Yeah. First watch. It's like, um, like a Denny's. I have a little bit more and I don't want to use the word upscale, but a
Starting point is 00:07:56 little more. Yeah. So I mean, I mean breakfast, right? I mean breakfast. I get eating breakfast, right? You're supposed to be froze. I'm eating breakfast. I get my normal, I get my French toast, and I get my steak and eggs, right? And I get my fruit bowl. So she called my phone. So I placed the phone up. I got the phone in my hand and I'm eating my food. So I got my sunglasses. I got my sunglasses sitting on my head.
Starting point is 00:08:23 My sunglasses fall by accident, right? Not by accident. And I put them back up real fast. And the waitress was in front of me. Rail, think somebody's sitting there. She say, man, who in the fuck is that sitting in front of you? I know you're not playing with me.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Put your glasses back down. So I took my glasses. I'm like, and I put them down on the table. She's like, Chad, don't you play with me? Who in the hell is it? And she's thinking it's funny. She said, turn the camera around. I turn the camera around. He didn't turn the camera around. He didn't turn the camera around. Hold on. Listen, I turned the camera around. My plate of camera around. He didn't turn the camera around. He didn't turn the camera around. Hold on, listen. I turned the camera around. My plate of food is right there. My French toast, I had finished already and I'm eating my steak and eggs.
Starting point is 00:09:12 I'm like, man, what is your problem? Then the waitress comes right back out right again and now the waitress nervous because she can hear her cursing and I'm confused. I was not. It was so embarrassing because I was not. It was. You acted up my damn way. It was so embarrassing because I didn't want to snap and the waitress was like, the waitress got scared because she could hear a cursing so the waitress went away the first time and she came back.

Starting point is 00:10:07 Man, she would talk to me like I'm not even Ocho. Like she, like, we almost got into it. But again, she apologized, said I was sorry because when my glasses fell and they went back up, she saw the reflection of the waitress sitting in front of me and it was her. And by the time it dawned on me what she was talking about because she was confusing me
Starting point is 00:10:33 because instead of just communicating and talking normal, she was screaming like she was my homeboy and like she wanted to fight.

You built this business through a lot of hard work,
Starting point is 00:35:09 a lot of determination. What advice would you give women that want to follow in your path? I think, you know, choose you first. I was at a point where I felt like I needed to put, I was at a point where I felt like I needed to put my man was at a point where I felt like I needed to put my man first and follow his dreams but find you someone that supports you and
Starting point is 00:35:31 go after your dreams. It only works, a lot of people think that you should put your kids first but that's not true because you stress out and in order for for everyone else to be happy, you have to be happy. So focus on your dreams, do what you need to do, communicate with your kids, with your spouse, and everything else will fall in place. So that's the biggest thing, making sure that I'm set. If I'm set and I'm good to go,
Starting point is 00:35:58 then everybody else attached to me will be good. How did the military, obviously everybody knows, I don't know if they know, but Sherelle was in the military so how did that military because you know you have to be disciplined you have to be structured you have to be punctual how has that helped you in your business? It taught me discipline it taught me how to deal with different personalities I do on a brokerage I deal with different personalities so it do honor brokerage. I deal with different personalities. So it did teach me how to be able to lead different personalities.
Starting point is 00:36:29 I mean, everyone is not the same. It taught me structure, mainly discipline, how to lead. I did 13 years in the army, two tours to Afghanistan. I jumped out of airplanes. I was a bad-ass mother Yeah, and she pulled the gun on me twice No for real yeah, oh But when I told you oh girl pulled one on me you to my oh, yeah, but that wasn't your girl
Starting point is 00:37:00 That was somebody else girl girl that was somebody else girl. That's the difference. But it definitely taught me discipline and you know how to control my emotions and how to communicate because you dip you're dealing with different personalities and people wasn't raised how you were raised. So you learn a lot What you travel a lot I mean Oh Joe say you've already been to Turks and Caicos like three times this year You travel a lot obviously when you're in the military you move around a lot But what are some of the destinations that you haven't gone that you would like to go to?

But that don't count cuz ain't nothing not there. You haven't been to Dubai. I just ain't nothing not there for me. It is, it's a lot. What's the only reason I travel to do what? The only reason I travel is to watch what? Soccer even this thing. You know that I just Ain't in the Maldives. I know but it was your birthday. That's the only reason I went you came because of me
Starting point is 00:38:33 It was nice. I'm just yeah, I'm not into traveling. I'm not in a sightseeing. I'm not into taking pictures like it's not a compromise I like to travel. I got to have the compromise. I did compromise You know how to compromise That is I know I wanted you so I put no Yeah, look at her, she's violent, okay, she's violent, okay. You see how violent she is? Next question. What advice would you offer young mothers? Because you have kids, and to juggle kids,
Starting point is 00:39:13 juggle your business, juggle a relationship, how difficult, and what advice would you like to share with some of these young women out here? It's very hard, and don't get discouraged. Like, go after your dreams have a village I don't do it all on my own like my father is here papa He helps out a lot and a lot of people will say bad things Oh, you're not taking care of your kids this that in the third
Starting point is 00:39:36 But you know the bigger picture like you know your end result You don't have to explain anything to anyone else as long as you're communicating with your inner circle your babies Let them know this is why I'm doing this because this is the bigger picture. That's all that matters Wow, so what was the hardest part about starting a business because I mean, I don't know if you've ever owned a business before But what was the hardest part? You would say was the hardest part to get this thing off the ground and get it moving so quick story I But what was the hardest part you would say was the hardest part to get this thing off the ground and get it moving so quick story I Did 13 years in the military right when I knew I was medically retired. I started my business, okay, and
Starting point is 00:40:19 Everyone around me was like you crazy you about to give up 13 years You need to get a GS job a government job and go back in and I'm like no So I started my business while I was still active duty military. Okay, wow. So once I medically retired my leave date, I jumped right into my own business. Wow. So I didn't even have time to even think about the hard parts.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Because once I jumped into my business, I started recruiting, then I landed a TV show. My business wasn't even set up for three months, and I had a show on Netflix. Did you always know you wanted to be a businesswoman? Yeah, give her a round of applause, that's unbelievable. It is. It was a lot of hard, like I had a lot of criticism,
Starting point is 00:40:57 I had a lot of, oh, y'all ain't doing nothing, y'all. But the biggest picture was to show us as minorities, us as black women, that we can get into luxury as well. When I first got into real estate, it's like, I was like, how can I sell two million, three million? They was like, girl, it's all about who you know. Nobody had the blueprint.
Starting point is 00:41:18 And I wanted to change that. So I recruited some women and I took a different route and it got me to Netflix but No, did you always know you wanted to be an entrepreneur did you always know you wanted to be a businesswoman honestly I didn't have a plan. I was a teenage mom. I lost my track scholarship. A lot of people don't know that Yes, I was the 400 runner you see yeah a lot of people don't know that. Yes, I was a 400 runner. You see these legs. But I lost my track scholarship and it wasn't about me anymore, it was about my child. So I decided to go into the military. I didn't have a plan. I did 12 years, 12 and a half, 13 years. And
Starting point is 00:42:01 I was like, I'm tired of working for people I've seen people stress out die at the age of 55 working for the government I was like I'm I want to be my own business owner and it just blew up from there yeah oh Joe hold on there now what she did that is is I'd help to now what you have with oh not with the business because the business will see it before you came along baby okay but you did help once you came into my life you did help take it to that okay let me get you together now I gave you a little catapult now.

Starting point is 00:44:35 And I think I think I love the fact that people do watch us I mean they go to the extreme I'm not gonna lie, but chatting out or normal just like everyone else out here. We go through things You know we shut down with each other. We need a break. She's stubborn. You stubborn too. She's stubborn. But at the end of the day, our love overpowers everything. And you know, we have a great family. We have great support. And that's all that matters.
Starting point is 00:44:55 And we keep God first. Well, you know what? Since y'all back together, thank you, guys. Dallas, Terrell Rosado. Ocho, before we move on, Ocho and Rell, guys have officially made up. They've kissed and made up. And so down, and they get, look at you.
Starting point is 00:45:14 He, he, he, he, he. Now we ain't, we ain't, we ain't, I mean, look, we, we all right, we all right. But listen, I eased up, you know how you, you drive it right and you step on the brake. So I stepped on the brake a little bit. I am easing off of it. I ease off it all the way, because if you ease off it all the way, they don't think sweet, sweet, sweet.
Starting point is 00:45:35 And I'm being serious for those. But, you know, I mean, I'm I'm I'm handling this as mature as I can. Well, I'm sure that probably can. So I was. Yeah, mature as I possibly can. So she right there. Yeah, I appreciate that. She right there behind me. You can't see her? Oh, she in the bed asleep.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Baby. Wait, wait, wait. Yeah, she not that back there. Listen, she back there snoring like a rhino. Realcy, I'm traveling. Realcy, I'm traveling. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, she came with me, you know, came to support me at Inside NFL, Winsy. So, you know, we left there and drove on down to New York.
Starting point is 00:46:13 So, you know, we in New York, I see people in the chat making fun of me, talking about, what you in the storage unit with no lights? Somebody say, what you back in the closet, put you in the storage unit? No, I'm going to tell you, I got the lights on because, you know, my little baby here, my little baby back there, no snoring. But yeah, she's sleeping.
Starting point is 00:46:35 But other than that, man, I just, I mean, we good, man. We can take things slow. What I need to do, I need to start over with her. Yeah, because we in year five, right? And we got to look comfortable. I need to start over with her. Yeah. Cause we in year five, right? And we, I think I gotta look comfortable. I think she didn't got a little comfortable. She didn't got a little complacent.
Starting point is 00:46:51 I think I got a little complacent. And it ain't the same like it was in the beginning. I need to record. I need to find ways to fall in love again, you know? And find ways to read date, you know? All that good stuff, man, you know, just add a little, little pepper and spice of this shit. Because we you know, we got everything became routine. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:47:14 yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm just be honest, we took we had a good job. Yeah, we had a good talk, man. Drive from Philly to here. But we had a man. About, about time she took, you know, something that most women don't. She took accountability. I was like, okay, I'm proud of you. That's good, because you ain't did that in five years. I like that.
Starting point is 00:47:34 I like that. I like that. I like we look. Own it. Yeah, yeah, that my daughter. Clean it up. Yeah, yeah. But the greatest apology is change your behavior. Oh yeah, oh yeah, it is, it is, it up. Yeah, yeah. But the greatest apology is change behavior.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Oh yeah, oh yeah, it is, it is, it is. But listen, listen, I like when I hear that phrase right there. The greatest apology is change behavior. Now, there's only so much we can do as humans because you are who you are, especially at our big age, you know, and at times, if you have to change too much of who you are to be someone else, then you lose a sense of yourself.
Starting point is 00:48:10 And that's one thing I can't do. I can't lose a sense of self and what makes me me. Now the issues and problems that we do have are not magnified that much because they're small. Yeah, they're fixable problems, but what I need to do is I need to find a way to minimize the small problem because small problem continue to build and build and build and build and build. Well, that's why you jump on that.
Starting point is 00:48:30 But here's the thing, Ocho, long as you approach it in a way that's not confrontational, you're like, baby, I want to talk to you about that. And, you know, it's not an issue, but I don't want it to become an issue. So and then you approach it like that. You don't approach it in a confrontational manner. You don't cause like, you wrong and I'm right in this situation. You talk to her. Like I said, I just know real through you,
Starting point is 00:48:55 but I think, you know, she's probably... Because the one thing I do know, Ocho, she loves you. She wanted you. She wanted you. She wanted you. She wanted you. She wanted you. And it's one thing when a woman wants a man, there's not a whole lot that woman won't do for that man. Yeah. And vice versa. And vice versa.
Starting point is 00:49:16 You know, I don't think I'm breaking it. I'm not breaking the news. But when a woman really wants a man, and she put herself out there, like, yeah, I want you. Let it be known. Let the record clearly state that Rae-O wants Ocho. That's not how she told me. She said, she said, I want you, but I don't need you. So like, it was she kind of hit me with like a backhanded compliment at the same time like well Then you let me just say you want me you had to tell me you need me
Starting point is 00:49:49 We know we know we know you good, but I think we we on the right path. We do we doing good We doing good, but I like and I some somebody tweeted me the other day Why are you always posting me y'all beefing? But listen, I post when we happy. I post when we smiling. I post when we sleeping. I post when we wake up in the morning. I post every goddamn thing. I'm not living privately
Starting point is 00:50:15 because I ain't got nothing to goddamn hide. Like some of these people that think they, they want to be so secretive and like who the fuck is y'all? I ain't no mother. Hey Lista, I'm going through the same shit y'all go through in the chat. I'm going through the same shit you go through. Maybe y'all go through the same thing. I had for what?
Starting point is 00:50:32 We got, I go through the same argument y'all go through. We had the same fights y'all have. I think that, like I said, it's OK. But as somebody that's gone to therapy for a number of years and many of times, is that the therapists always say, Shannon, are you arguing to be right or are you arguing for right?
Starting point is 00:50:56 So you say there are two different things. They both end with right, but what are you arguing for? And you have to be able to communicate with your partner, both in a language they can understand. If you speak in Mandarin Chinese, and she's speaking Spanish, or she's speaking Portuguese, there's no communication there. And you've got to have communicated,, when you have uncommunicated expectations,
Starting point is 00:51:27 you have expectations for Raell. Raell has expectations for you. But they aren't communicated. See, this is where the problem starts to arrive, because there's uncommunicated... Well, I thought Ocho was gonna take me this. Well, she didn't tell me, so how am I supposed to know? Right.
Starting point is 00:51:44 See, sometimes we get to the thing, well, you should just know, no, baby ain't tell me, so how am I supposed to know? Right. See, sometimes we get to the thing, where you should just know, no, baby, just tell me what you want. Just tell me what you want. I can't read your mind. I'm gonna try to do what I can to make sure that happens. Because I want to make you happy. Because at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:51:58 a man, when he's looking for, I'm talking about a real woman, it's not an education, Ocho. It's not an educational joke. It's not a body. It's not a beauty. It's not the sex. Can you bring them peace? Because all those things, all those things, but the finest, beautiful. I mean, hanging from the chandelier, the ceiling fan,
Starting point is 00:52:22 and he can turn it on high. Yeah. Yes, sir. But if you don't give that man peace, eventually he gonna leave. Yeah. But you know what, also, in turn, one of the things I learned, especially about myself now, like I like what you're talking about,
Starting point is 00:52:38 but I'm gonna take accountability on my end. So I got to bring, Yeah. Old hell real piece from the goddamn self. I got to bring. Yeah, hell real piece. My god damn self. I got I got I bring up peace. So normally if I'm bringing her peace, then once I once I cross that threshold in that door that I call my safe place or my safe haven, whatever you need, then I do get peace. Now, if I'm gonna goddamn donkey. And I'm expecting that I'm expecting her to bring me peace when I'm acting a fool. Oh and I'm expecting to hug to bring me peace when I'm acting a fool.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Oh no, it don't work that way. You're right on the joke. It's like relationships are tough. You got to work at it. Just like there are very few people. I mean, just look, you got to get a football because you worked at it. You practiced at it, you studied it.
Starting point is 00:53:22 You have to take that same approach with your relationship. With your married or whatever, however, whatever you wanna call your relationship, you've gotta put that same kind of laser focus into that to make sure your partner's happy. She brings you peace, you bring her peace. She gives you happiness. But your partner can't give you happiness.
Starting point is 00:53:41 People's like, when people say, I found happiness, happiness is not something you find happiness is something you create. Create happiness. Yeah, yeah. And in the process of you being happy. You where you need to be. First, it can't move you off that they're just going to bring you more. Well, yeah, and that's that's, that's a lot of that's a lot of pressure. You're part of the two.
Starting point is 00:54:08 That's that. And that's that's for you all in the chat. You know, you're always relying on your man. And you've always belonged to your woman to make you happy. But happiness comes within. You got to already be happy. You got the is already got to be up in you because if it ain't in you and you rely on someone else, you know how human nature, human nature, let you down. Human nature let you down every time.
Starting point is 00:54:29 This is what you gotta be careful. You gotta be careful what you tell people because if people know what makes you tick, they can wind you up and make you tick when they want to. Now, if a person can make you happy, what else can they make you? Say it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:46 I mean, it doesn't matter. Yeah. It doesn't matter how you flip the pancake. It's still flat on both sides. Oh, yeah. They play with you like a puppet. Pull your strings when they want to. I'm happy for you, bro.
Starting point is 00:55:00 You know, hey, bro, you know I'm pulling for you. I'm looking. I'm looking to go. You know, your boy is looking to go. You know, I might pull up with some. You know, hey bro, you know I'm pulling for you. I'm looking, I'm looking to go. You know, your boy looking to go. You know, I might pull up with some, you know, I might pull up with some. Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. Listen, favorite is on, man.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Is on that favorite, baby. That's okay, that's okay. Trying to pretend like she asleep. You know, I look at, I look at, I look at, yeah. You know, I might step out, you know, your old shape. Oh, show you step out there with old step. I, you know. What you gonna wear?
Starting point is 00:55:31 What you gonna wear? I mean, you gonna be on the beach, so I need to pull out some linen or something. Yeah, we can be. Yeah, you know, I have a linen. Yeah, you gotta have some linen on. Hey, hey, listen, when your boy pull up on that white horse, you gonna see me back from 300, 300, 300 yards away coming. Yeah, white horse, your boy pull up on that white horse, you're going to see me back from 300, 300 yards away coming.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Yeah, white horse. I'm pulling up on a white horse. She going to have one of those sun-dressed, little slingy, you know, you know. You know what I mean? Yeah. Right. You know.

F*** that b*** too. -♪ BOTH LAUGHINGanother laugh. -♪ Babe, what? Oh, but my mama was hell, man. And everybody got it. There's a saying,
Starting point is 01:02:16 I don't know how many people in the chat that are from Miami, or any of my friends, there's a saying, you are really not a friend of mine. We are not really friends if you haven't been cursed out by my mama. So what I do try to do in situations like that, I try to deescalate them as much as possible. But once she got that lick in her system,
Starting point is 01:02:34 if my mama got that lick in her system, huh, it's a wrap. Yeah, I believe that. There's nothing I can do, there's nothing I can say. It's a wrap. I believe there have to be a healthy level of respect on both sides. I understand, cause you know, moms don't believe anybody
Starting point is 01:02:50 is ever gonna be good enough for their daughter. And fathers doesn't believe that anybody is ever gonna be good enough for their daughters. But there has to be a level of respect there that this is the person that I choose and whatever mistake I make, I'm gonna have to stand in it. I'm gonna have to own it. And you know, there might be a time down the road
Starting point is 01:03:06 that you say, I told you so. But if I introduce you to somebody, I don't need you to, in this situation, not withstanding, just be respectful because I'm gonna demand my partner be respectful of you because you are my mom and you are an adult, you're older than she is. And so she's gonna give you a level of respect, but in order to get respect,
Starting point is 01:03:27 you're gonna have to give respect. Yeah. And I don't wanna be, listen, every time I come around, I'm not gonna be a referee. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, that's not what I'm here for. Yeah. You know, I want my partner to be around,
Starting point is 01:03:44 to know my family, to my grandmother and my mom and my sister, my brother and family. But to come around and be, and to be, you're not gonna be disrespectful. You're not gonna call out her name. And my partner, damn, she's not gonna be disrespectful to you.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Cause at the end of the day, that's still my mom. Yeah. She gave me life. So we're gonna be respectful. I demand respect on both sides. I demand it from my mom to respect my partner, and I demand my partner respect my mom. Yeah, that's tough. That's tough, huh?
Starting point is 01:04:14 I mean, listen, I mean, your mom is a little different than my mom was. I mean, there are other people's moms, they operate different in that space when it comes to who their son might be dating. My mama don't give to you know what, and didn't care who you were. You was going to get it. Any small little situation where things don't most of the time go her way or you don't check
Starting point is 01:04:40 in. It's just weird some of the things that would trigger her. And I would do everything I can in my power to de-escalate situations the best way I can. And, you know, it was hard for me to even take my mama places with me, huh? It was hard to take her to important stuff, red carpet events, because I know what's gonna happen. I know what's gonna happen.
Starting point is 01:05:03 That's tough. And it never failed. It never failed. Even when I tried,'s gonna happen. I know what's gonna happen. That's tough. It never failed. It never failed, even when I tried. It never failed. And chat, if y'all don't know about Hurricane Paula, you can go watch it in action when we had, we did Marriage Bootcamp together. My mom and I, we did Marriage Bootcamp together,
Starting point is 01:05:21 Family Edition, where I tried to reunite and bring us a little closer together because we were always at wits end. You know, my grandma raised me, so I tried to do all I can to see if I can fix and rectify our situation as mother and son. And boy, she showed her ass. Oh. She showed her ass. She showed her ass.
Starting point is 01:05:46 She cussed everybody out. My thing is I'm never gonna curse my mom. I'm never gonna be disrespectful to my mom. I'm just gonna have a conversation with my mom and like, mom, look, I'm an adult now. I'm not the little boy. Yes, I am. I'm still your baby.
Starting point is 01:06:02 I'm the one that you gave birth to on June 26th, 1968 in Cook County Hospital. That's me. Yeah. But I'm a man now. And I'm well, I'm in my right mind. I'm old enough, I'm wise enough to make decisions. They might not be perfect.
Starting point is 01:06:20 My grandmother had just the opposite approach. My grandma was like, I ain't gotta sleep with them. If you like them, I love them. Cause I ain't gotta spend one day with them son. That was my grandma. Anytime I brought someone, I didn't bring a whole lot of people around my grandma, but she said, son, I ain't got,
Starting point is 01:06:35 you the one that got to live with them. Are you happy? And if they make you happy, you being happy makes me happy. And if my happiness is dependent on you, you being happy, son, do it. Right. But, you know, my mom, and look, my mom is,
Starting point is 01:06:52 and I get it, but I would never, I wouldn't allow my mom, I probably would've like, you know, take my partner home, my girlfriend home, and then I'm gonna come back and I'm going to have a conversation. I'm going to have a deep conversation with my mom. And I'm going to say, mom, that's disrespectful. I say, so in other words, you don't respect me.
Starting point is 01:07:13 So you don't give, you don't care about me. You don't care what I want. You don't care what I like. You don't care about my happiness. This ain't about you, mom. Right. This is not about you. And I understand. You want what's best for your child.
Starting point is 01:07:27 All parents, I ain't gonna say all, most parents want what's best for their child. If they have anything. Right. Because I'm never gonna be that parent that I prepare. Oh, you think you better than me. What parent worth anything says that to a child, you think you better than me.
Starting point is 01:07:44 Right. But I will have a conversation with my mom. Mm-hmm. That I thought that was very disrespectful. Yeah. The way you talk to her, the way you talk to me. Right. Hey, Mom, I'mma always love you,
Starting point is 01:08:01 but if you can't respect the person that I'm with, I can't come around you. Yeah. Shoot, that shit there, boy. Man, shit. I'm... You see that little speech you gave just now? Being nice about, man, you can't... I can't even come around? Man, man, but carry your black ass on there.
Starting point is 01:08:17 I'm gonna fuck you in that bit. But I wish you could have met my mama, man. I don't know how many people from the chat are there watching the show that's from the Korea that know about my old girl. Boy, she ain't play that. Boy, she ain't play that. I don't care, no matter who he is.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Everybody got it, coaches, teachers, friends, my girls, my kids. Those I have kids from, everybody got it. Everybody was fair game. It's different. It was very different. The way my grandmother approached my girlfriends or people that I was dealing with, than my mom.
Starting point is 01:08:54 Yeah. My grandma was like, you happy? Take care of the babies. Hey, cause I want them great grand, I want them great grand to be around XYZ. Alice, Mary Alice? Different ball game, huh? But the thing is that, you know, you take mom,
Starting point is 01:09:17 just because I have somebody in my life, that doesn't mean I love you any less. Just because I got a kid from this person, that doesn't mean that's gonna take any of my love from you. You my mom. You always gonna be my mom. I'm always gonna do for you. But now I have responsibilities
Starting point is 01:09:35 that I have to do for someone else also. Now I might not be able to do as much as I could do because I have other responsibilities. First and foremost, that's one thing Barney, Mary Porter raised us to do. You take care of your responsibilities and I'm gonna do that. Right. Because I created it. So anytime you create something, you take care of it. Right. Okay, mom, but I still got you. Normally when you throw that many times, what are you? You're behind. And teams will let you, hey, do that
Starting point is 01:10:07 so they don't give up anything, cheap or deep. Right, just keep them in front of us. Yes. Yeah. I mean, I just, I mean, if some of the guys and they just like, I'ma show you. I just want to know, cause Andrew Richardson said that the college was harder than the NFL.
Starting point is 01:10:21 I want to know if he still feels that way. But he said that last year before he got here. He said that this year. Oh, this year? I don't really think he meant that though. I just don't know what he's saying to him. I don't know if he meant it or not. He would just be, he would probably be in this situation.
Starting point is 01:10:40 If a girl called you ugly, oh, she ain't mean that. That ain't what she meant. She said it. Nah, if a girl, I mean, oh, she ain't mean that. That ain't what she meant. She said it. Nah, if a girl, I mean, nah, but you gotta listen. You know, a girl call you ugly, sometimes she flirting, and she really don't mean that. But you know, sometimes she say it to keep you hungry. Don't keep me hungry.
Starting point is 01:10:55 My grandma called me ugly all my life growing up. I'm gonna take your word for it, I'm done with you. Oh, ugly self, okay. I'm done with you. Oh, ugly self, okay. Hey, I ain't trying to convince nobody. Did you mean that? Cause you remember the other day you said I was ugly. Did you mean it?
Starting point is 01:11:14 Nah, you said it, I'm good. I will keep it moving. You can't take it personally. I ain't taking it personally. I ain't finna be, what I look like trying to, somebody go call me ugly and they think I'm gonna be with them?
Starting point is 01:11:28 I mean, come on. We ain't, Ocho, we grown. You do that in the fourth grade, when you in the elementary school, you got a crush on somebody, you hit them, but your ugly self, you make me sick. We grown now, we don't play no type of games. That means she really like you.
Starting point is 01:11:47 Nah, nah. Shoot, hey, I mean, you call me ugly sometimes. Was she mad at you? Yeah, exactly. When are women the most honest? When they what? When they're angry.
Starting point is 01:12:04 When they what? Thank you angry. When they what? Thank you. So probably, maybe I am, you know? Listen, I ain't the, I ain't, I'm not the, I ain't top 10 in the world. I'm not strong six and a half, especially with a haircut. If I get a haircut, oh, long as I'm, long as I'm above five, I'm straight.
Starting point is 01:12:22 Now when I ain't got no haircut and, you know, I ain't been on the waist, I'm a folk. I'm a strong folk. Yeah. I mean, look. Yeah, I mean, I guess that's what you like. I'm looking for, like you said, I'm trying to be a strong six, seven.
Starting point is 01:12:41 A seven? Yeah, I mean, you say if you want your girl, you wouldn't want your, you want your, so I mean, you say if you want your girl, you wouldn't want your, you want you so I mean you say what would you say? Rell to what? Nine, ten? A nine? Not Rell, Rell.

Starting point is 01:13:21 Because you know what they say, if you can make a woman laugh, you can laugh. I ain't going to say it. You know what I'm trying to say. Yeah, you get up out, if you can make a woman laugh, you can laugh. I ain't gon say, you know what I'm trying to say. Yeah, I get what you're saying. Quick, quick. But I look, it just depends.

Yeah, yeah, they walk in the room and everybody here. Yeah, yeah, and then you got one, you got something, did you see her? Nah.
Starting point is 01:13:59 Listen, I mean, obviously, depending on who you are, especially as a male, sometimes you want a seven. Sometimes you want a six and a half because you take a six and a half and you get a hair, a feet and nails done. Give her a nice bang. If you get a face beat, oh, she good. And then you ain't gotta worry about everybody after.
Starting point is 01:14:17 No, Ocho. You ain't gotta worry about her hand temptation and all that. Ocho, what you're gonna realize, the moment you, you can get you a two. The moment Ocho saw somebody gonna want her because they want what Ocho got. That's how it works.
Starting point is 01:14:31 Make it see a woman walk by a thousand times. Right, right. But let somebody, boy that, bro you saw her walk by this, she been working in this office for four years. She been single. Ain't nobody, she ain't mention nothing. No flowers have never come.
Starting point is 01:14:48 No cars have never come. You've never seen her go out like, oh, I gotta go, I'm going to meet somebody for lunch or for coffee. But the moment somebody else show a little interest, I been down. Man, you know Stephanie look good. Mother.
Starting point is 01:15:03 Man, you know Stephanie look good. Mother. Man, they do that all the time, Ocho. But you know, like I said, look, I'm what I am. I got a nice personality. I can carry conversation. I'm what I am. What you see is what you get. You know, like I said, when I was growing up, Ocho,
Starting point is 01:15:26 in college and high school, you got a homeboy. Because women, a lot of times, you ain't gonna see five or six tens together because they gonna be bickering. So you go, they might be one ten, eight, seven, and they're gonna be about three or four twos and fuses. They're gonna be a couple of twos and fuses there, old joke. Now, the one thing about women, they not gonna splinter. Guys, if five or six guys go out together,
